Probably a very stupid question

I know this is probably a very stupid question, but what can i expect to be paying in gas and electric for a 2 bed flat? My boyfriend and I are looking to move in together sooner rather than later but things are going to be very tight for the first 6 months or so. Before we make a move we can't afford I am looking to try and find out some prices for services so we can carefully look at everything first.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

    Thats a 'how long is a piece of string question'

    Your type of heating & hot water(gas/electricity/offpeak/radiators/storage heaters?) will have the major influence.

    As will how long each day you spend in the flat and how warm you like it.

    Then factor in washing machine/dishwasher/freezer/baths or showers etc useage.

    I would think £50 a month average would be a good starting point.
